[quote=klozhald][quote=leeboweffect]This means that you would pulling no tension at all on the foot and in fact be compressing the bottom batten, when close hauled. I don't think this is correct and would like to check it.[/quote]
This could well be an [i]intentional[/i] geometry.
In light air, the "batten compression" force would increase the draft in in the foot of your main.
Boomless, there is no other way to induce this in light air (short of bungees pulling from the mast).
So the back hole is intended specifically for light air, and you use the forward holes for other points of wind. And its up to you to determine which one gives you the correct sail shape for your situation.
Have you talked to a NACRA sailmaker about this?<!-- editby --><em>Edited by klozhald on Jul 24, 2017 - 07:43 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
